The freakin' weekend?

CHINA | Sunday, 11 May 2008 | Views [735] | Comments [1]

A pretty unsubstantial weekend as the course of events go. 

After my couch surfer left on Saturday morning, I'd be hard pressed to find anything significant that happened in my life.  I slept nearly all day Saturday (I woke up at 8 am to say goodbye and couldn't bring myself out of the early morning stupor until about 3 pm).

It was then I realized I'd wasted a beautiful day.  Gorgeous, in fact. 

Today, I didn't do anything but buy water and some food for lunch/dinner.  Linner, if you will.  Or maybe dunch.  It wasn't brunch, which is currently my most favoritest meal.  But it was a happy compromise. 

I was sort of depressed about not receiving a single phone call about the happenings of Saturday night.  I was debating about whether I'd developed an odor problem or my personality simply wasn't what I thought it was...

Then, at about 3 pm, I received a text that was sent at 7 pm last night.  Which led me to the conclusion that my phone is dead.  Apparently, mishandling Chinese phones isn't acceptable.  I think I've dropped it one too many times, because it wouldn't let me make a call explaining why I hadn't responded.  Or send a text.  I wound up calling Mario on skype to explain my anti-social-ness.

The relief of my lack of an offensive personality or smell led me to go for a walk.  During the walk, the constant rain of the day (yes, it's becoming a theme) turned into the sun peaking through actual clouds (not the pollution saturated atmosphere that I've become used to).  Which perked me up even more.

Planning classes, watching a BBC documentary, and generally lazing about followed.  Leading me to this moment.  Whereby I type my random ramblings to an audience that hopefully exists...

Oh, Lea, you will always have an audience so don't worry about that. I'm always waiting for your next ramblings and disappointed when you take a few days off or go off on an adventure and don't have time to write. Miss you lots! Aunt Cathy
